Efforts to make VITRUM 2025 more visible and attractive have been fulfilled as attendance has been significant.
Events, Masteclass and a Forum focusing on hot topics of the glass industry together with the presence of the most important glass manufacturers, made the difference from previous editions for both quality and attention.
In a cosy area, RCN Solutions has shown its patented system, RD CLEAN CONCEPT, for clean edges after lamination, which is now a must for several companies who have understood the benefit of an investment return in saving time, and most of all the respect of the regulations in matter of nominal value of the thickness of the interlayer after lamination. Traditional laminating bags usually press more on the edges causing the thickness of the interlayer getting thinner with possible rejection on building sites. RD CLEAN CONCEPT applies a homogeneous pressure on the entire glass surface, sealing the edges thanks to the flexibility of the top, allowing correct de-airing.
The real star of the show was LIA, laminating integrated automatism: a fully automatic laminating system. Appreciated by the most part of the visitors, it along with the new software Qibi for production flow control, production timeline, consumption data analysis, remote control and bi-directional machine communication, allow detailed production control.
But RCN Solutions had many other proposals: different laminating kilns and REVA BF interlayer, bending kilns for special curves with heating system divided in different, independent areas and chemical tempering plants.
However, one of the values of the company is the flexibility in production which translates into the possibility of combining machines according to customers’ requirements. Visitors noted the ability of RCN to find technical solutions, respond to demands and suggest the best production layout with a special focus on methods to facilitate operations.
Vitrum has been a great opportunity for welcoming long standing customers, spend time with them and listen to their new projects, meet new companies explaining the company and the products, and understand how the glass industry is changing.
